For the first time, rotational constants along with centrifugal distortion constants have been determined for OThS and OCeS. The rotational spectra of these molecules and, in each case, one other isotopologue (OThS and OCeS) were produced utilizing a laser ablation sourcing technique incorporated into a chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectrometer operating in the 8 to 18 GHz region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The bent structures determined are in very good agreement with theoretical calculations.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an emerging tool that could be leveraged to identify the effective conservation solutions demanded by the urgent biodiversity crisis. We present the results of our horizon scan of AI applications likely to significantly benefit biological conservation. An international panel of conservation scientists and AI experts identified 21 key ideas.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study explores how incisor size and curvature in primates can indicate dietary differences, utilizing a new method called dental topographic analysis alongside traditional measures and statistics.
  • - Researchers measured various dimensions and shapes of incisors in 107 modern anthropoid primates and found significant dietary distinctions, with no notable sexual differences.
  • - Results suggest that the Relief Index (RFI) and linear measurements are reliable indicators of diet in primates, highlighting the need for a detailed approach when applying these findings to fossil species.

Background: Radiological investigations are critical to diagnosis and treatment of many musculoskeletal diseases including detecting earliest degenerative changes (osteoarthritis (OA)) seen in patients with unstable ankle fractures managed surgically. Despite the high incidence of ankle OA, research into early detection using imaging remains sparse.

Objectives: To identify the incidence of OA on postoperative imaging in adults with unstable ankle fractures after a minimum follow-up of 3 years with a correlation to patient reported outcomes.
